At the head was a yellow hused with two people sitting on it. A short and stout man, with white skin and thick beard - it was Cao Cao himself. The other was an old-looking, emaciated woman, Madame Ding, who was anxious to see Cao Ang, so she rode with Cao Cao and galloped over.
The yellow horse under the two of them was the war horse of Cao Angrang and Cao Cao during the Battle of Wancheng that day. The horses seemed to have smelled the breath of their former masters, and rushed over like lightning, neighing incessantly all the way, and seemed particularly excited.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Cao Ang couldn't help but hurriedly ran over to greet him.
Cao Cao reined in and rolled down, and Cao Ang hurriedly leaned over to help Mrs. Ding.
Cao Cao was smiling on one side, but he joked in his mouth: "Ziyu is really closer to your mother, and he turns a blind eye to me, a father." ”
Cao Ang helped Mrs. Ding, and immediately knelt on his knees when he heard this, kowtowed to Cao Cao, and choked up: "The child knocks on his father, and his father is fine." ”
Cao Cao's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his body to help Cao Ang up.
Mrs. Ding shed tears on the side, and her tearful eyes were fixed on Cao Ang. Cao Cao leaned over and helped Cao Ang to cover her sight, she pushed Cao Cao away and said fiercely: "Don't stop me from seeing my son." ”
Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry, and stood away.
As soon as Cao Ang got up, he knelt down again, kowtowed to Mrs. Ding, and said, "Mother, the child is back." ”
Mrs. Ding's tears couldn't stop dripping, she squatted down suddenly, opened her arms and hugged Cao Ang into her arms, and cried loudly: "My child, you are finally back, why have you been so ruthless outside for so long, you are going to be a mother." ”
Mrs. Ding's extremely sad cry infected Cao Ang, and she couldn't help but shed tears, Cao Ang hugged Mrs. Ding and said softly: "The child is not filial, which makes the mother worried." ”
Mrs. Ding cried for a while, slowly raised her head, and saw that Cao Ang's face was full of tears, she hurriedly stretched out her rough palm and carefully wiped the tears on Cao Ang's face, with a smile on her face, and said like a child: "Ang'er doesn't cry anymore, it's all a guy, which makes people look weird and embarrassed." As he spoke, he burst into tears again.
Cao Cao was full of emotion on the side, but when he saw that there were onlookers all around, looking at his wife and son as if watching a play, he couldn't help but walk over and whisper to Mrs. Ding: "Madam, let's go home and talk about it, Ang'er has been in the dust all the way, and he should go back and freshen up." ”
Mrs. Ding wiped her tears with her sleeve, rolled her eyes at Cao Cao, and said without saltiness: "Finally, you said something human." After speaking, he grabbed Cao Ang and said, "Let's ride this peerless horse, and you yourself ask your soldiers to ride the horse." ”
Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao and smiled apologetically. Cao Cao patted Cao Ang's shoulder and said in a sighing tone: "It's okay, you accompany your mother, these days, she is very bitter." ”
Cao Ang nodded, and walked to the side of the Shadow Horse with Ding in his arms.
The Shadow Horse was extremely spiritual, and immediately stretched out its big head and rubbed against Cao Ang's body, from time to time either snorting or neighing excitedly, very excited.
Cao Ang stroked the horse's body and said happily, "We're together again." ”
The Shadow Horse raised its head to the sky and roared, and after neighing, the man suddenly stood up, looking extremely powerful.
Cao Ang laughed and helped Ding to get on the horse, and then he also turned over on the horse, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and even the man and the horse swished out, like a streamer passing by.
When he returned home, Cao Cao summoned all his children and concubines, and invited Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Xiahou brothers to hold a lively family banquet to celebrate Cao Ang's safe return. Over the next three days, Cao Ang visited the elders one by one. On the fourth day, Cao Cao sent someone to call Cao Ang early in the morning.
"Put on a deep dress and dress, and later follow your father into the palace to meet the Son of Heaven." As soon as they met, Cao Cao threw out this sentence. Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao in confusion and asked, "Father wants to take me to see Your Majesty?" Why is that? ”
Cao Cao looked at his son who was most valued by him, and smiled meaningfully: "My son is already weak, and he is a serious filial piety, so it is time to contribute to the society of the Han Dynasty." ”
Cao Ang's heart suddenly broke out, knowing that Cao Cao was going to grant him an official position. The so-called pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven is just a formality. In fact, as long as Cao Cao approved and Xun Yu issued an order directly, Cao Ang could obtain an official status without the consent of the Son of Heaven at all.
Of course, Cao Ang would not reject the officials, so he bowed to Cao Cao at the moment and said, "Son, let's prepare." ”
After a short time, Cao Ang and Cao Cao walked towards the palace together.
The palace of Xudu was newly built by Cao Cao, and the scale was much inferior to that of Luoyang, but the decoration inside was magnificent, which is the residence of the Son of Heaven. With Cao Cao's frugal temperament, if he is used elsewhere, he will never spend a lot of money on decoration.
After entering the palace, Cao Ang gathered his mind and followed behind Cao Cao. The two of them walked unhurriedly all the way, and suddenly came to face a man with a wide robe and big sleeves and a crown on his head. The man kept his head down, but his steps were extremely fast. Without paying attention, he walked towards Cao Cao and Cao Ang in a daze.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, his authority is growing day by day, in this court, his majesty is even greater than Liu Xie, who dares to surprise him like this.
Cao Cao leaned slightly sideways, out of the way of the man, and then coughed loudly.
The man woke up from his contemplation, looked around in astonishment, and after seeing Cao Cao's face clearly, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly bent down and saluted, saying: "The lower official will meet Cao Sikong, and ask Cao Sikong to punish the rudeness." ”
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he looked at the man and said lightly, "Who are you?" ”
"Under the council, Lang Zhao Yan." Zhao Yan kept his head down, as if he was extremely afraid of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had no impression of Zhao Yan, and seeing that he was very respectful to him, he was no longer embarrassed, and said, "You go down, and pay more attention in this palace in the future." ”
Zhao Yan hurriedly agreed and retreated in small steps. Cao Ang's expression showed a trace of doubt, looking at Zhao Yan, who was still bowing his head and retreating, he always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he didn't get anything.
"What am I thinking?" Just thinking about it, Cao Cao asked out loud, "If there is nothing important, let's meet the Son of Heaven quickly." ”
Cao Ang nodded and followed Cao Cao.
Liu Xie seemed to have received a report, and as soon as Cao Cao arrived outside the palace, he greeted him.
Cao Cao didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister Cao Cao greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a long time and be happy for a long time." ”
Liu Xie's face was green, and there was only a circle of green black hair around his lips, but his demeanor was very decent, and his eyes were flashing with the light of an old man, so he hurriedly helped him and said, "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." Then he looked at Cao Ang, and the fox asked, "Who is this?" ”
Cao Ang hurriedly bowed and said: "Xiaomin Cao Ang greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a long time and live a long life." ”
"Cao Ang?" Liu Xie's face was revealed, and after glancing at Cao Ang, he looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Cao Sikong, he is your eldest son?" ”
Cao Cao bowed slightly and said, "It's Xiao'er." ”
Liu Xie looked at Cao Ang and said, "Master Cao, get up." Then he looked at Cao Cao and said, "What is the so-called matter of Cao Sikong entering the palace today?" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly bowed down and said: "Cao Ang has been trapped in Jingzhou since the Battle of Wancheng, and he has only returned to Xudu in the past few days. In line with the principle of promoting virtue and not avoiding relatives, the minister specially came to use meritocracy for His Majesty. ”
Cao Ang frowned slightly when he heard it behind Cao Cao, the solicitation of Zhang Xiu had little to do with Cao Ang, and Cao Cao insisted on crediting him with this credit, which made him feel extremely inappropriate. What's more, he is not a sage, and Cao Cao's statement of being a sage is a bit far-fetched.
Sure enough, Liu Xie's face immediately turned cold, and he said lightly: "I don't know what official position Cao Sikong plans to grant to Ling Gongzi?" After speaking, without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Wu Zi continued: "Although Cao Sikong arranged, just teach Xun Lingjun to send a document for some trivial matters, why do you need to ask me?" ”
